I have a long-standing interest in various forms of depth psychology. I worked with a Jungian therapist for quite some time, and, before that, with a psychodynamically-oriented therapist. I work in a self-contained classroom with high school students who have behavior and emotional challenges and am always looking for resources (articles, podcasts etc.) that nourish and educate me.

Hello Laurie,
Greetings, and welcome to the online depth psychology community. I'm so glad you've joined us. I am hopeful that being part of the Alliance will nourish you and possibly help inform your work in the classroom. How do your interests inform each other and are there ways that you are combining them in your work and/or life?
As you may know, we currently have over 2300 members as part of the Depth Psychology Alliance from all over the world and we're growing. I hope as you explore the community a bit you find a dynamic group of like-minded people who are all deeply drawn by the field of depth psychology. While there are many Jungian analysts and clinical psychologists here, our members come from various walks of life including artists, writers, doctors, scientists, healing professionals, counselors, students, business people, etc--so there is much cross-disciplinary knowledge and experience here to be shared.
On that note, please take a moment and introduce yourself in the Forum and let the community know what brings you here or what your background is. Also, there are many opportunities to engage as you browse the site. When you're ready to jump in, please feel free to post a topic for discussion in the forum, respond to someone else's post, or share a link to an article or web site you like.
The January online book club featuring "The War of the Gods in Addiction" with David E. Schoen (http://www.depthpsychologyalliance.com/events/january-2013-online-b...) ended but you can read the archived comments and listen to the four weekly archived teleconferences with David if you want--or browse the written discussions from past months as well. We'll have more Book Club groups in coming months.
Otherwise, we have an ongoing special study group on the Red Book with Robert Bosnak (http://www.depthpsychologyalliance.com/events/special-study-group-j...) which you can join anytime.
